The Worst Draft Class Of All-Time? The Top 10 Picks From 2013

in recent NFL history no other class receives the same negative Spotlight like the 2013 NFL draft 2013 is considered to have possibly the worst class of all time and are looking specifically at the top 10 the lack of skill position Talent combined with the large number of disappointing busts just goes to show how much these individual classes can vary today we will look briefly at each of the top 10 picks see how their careers turned out and compare these guys historically to other classes to see where 2013 Stacks up [Music] in the 2013 NFL draft the Kansas City Chiefs select Eric Fisher tackle Central Michigan as perhaps the most forgotten about number one pick in recent memory Eric Fisher sort of disappeared from the spotlight naturally and this was mostly because he played offensive line usually first overall selections received so much hype that they get constantly discussed and debated about on Sports shows but that just didn't happen with this guy after the draft his only real moment in the spotlight throughout his first five seasons was his Infamous hold on a two-point conversion versus the Steelers in the 2017 playoffs to a national audience this was a sort of oh yeah that guy went number one overall and I totally forgot about that but in reality despite things starting out quiet he eventually proved himself worth a 48 million dollar extension in 2016. by 2018 Fischer was a Cornerstone left tackle for Kansas City making his first of two pro bowls and he played a big role in the Chiefs run to their 2019 Super Bowl victory ultimately Eric Fisher played nine years in the NFL and he became very reliable considering he hardly missed any games over his career Fisher can be described as a guy who was good but a sort of underwhelming number one pick probably more to do with the position he played than anything in any other draft he's probably a mid first round selection but as we go through the rest of this top 10 you'll understand more why he went number one but before we see just how bad this class was this video is sponsored by the number one rated ticketing app Seagate with over 28 million downloads sea geek has more than 70 000 events

pick in 2013 the Jacksonville Jaguars also selected an offensive tackle Texas a M's Luke jokel coming off a season where he was awarded the Outland trophy given to the nation's top interior lineman jokel received heavy praise among scouting circles one NFL general manager said quote I think he's better than Joe Thomas and Matt Khalil jokel was considered the most polished tackle Prospect and the Jags were hoping that they found a solid pass protector to help develop their Young quarterback Blaine gabbard but jokel struggled mightily through two seasons Pro Football Focus ranked him as one of the worst offensive tackles in the NFL by the end of his rookie contract he had been a below average pass blocker considering he gave up a high number of sacks as a starter in 2016 after suffering and injury jokel lost the starting job and he never returned to the starting lineup from a mix of underwhelming performance and injuries Jacksonville decided to not pick up jokel's 50th option and he only played one year in Seattle before not signing with another team following 2017. with the Third [Music] in Oregon as a player known for his raw athleticism speed and versatility Dion Jordan was a boom or bust type of prospect considering he was more raw than most early first rounders but rather quickly things fell apart prior to the 2013 draft Jordan had surgery for a torn labrum which he would re-aggravate during the pre-season and this affected him throughout 2013. he never did enough to start as a rookie or play more than 30 snaps a game then the following year Jordan was suspended for four games due to violating the substance abuse policy and once he returned he barely played in what felt like a make or break year entering season number three Jordan would be suspended the entire season after a diluted sample was found which meant that he had violated the substance abuse policy for the second straight year after not playing football for over a year and a half Jordan returned to the team and didn't play a single down in year four he was released from the team in 2017 following a failed physical after leaving Miami Dion Jordan did play more but not much on his legacy had changed amongst Miami fans he's considered a bust and in 2019 he was suspended one more time for Adderall use and overall Jordan lasted six seasons only starting in five total games with the fourth pick in 2013 the Eagles took quarterback Lane Johnson wait quarterback yep that's right lane Johnson played quarterback in college well at least briefly It's actually an absurd story when Johnson began his college career he was a Juco quarterback for one season before he transferred to Oklahoma in 2009 he was the scout team quarterback before moving to tight end in 2010 then switched again to defensive end in 2011 but shortly after that college season began two Oklahoma starting offensive linemen went down with injuries and the o-line coach Bruce Kittle asked a few players including Johnson to try out as a backup to fill those missing roster spots to the absolute shock of Coach kiddo Lane Johnson demonstrated excellent footwork and a natural gift for blocking literally two weeks later Johnson became the team's starting right tackle and he played the rest of the season there the following year John Johnson switched to the left tackle and dominated becoming a 13 All-American and he impressed Scouts enough of the Senior Bowl to be drafted fourth overall in 2013 and just to add to this already epic story Lane Johnson became one of if not the best right tackle in the game by 2017. he earned First Team all pro that year and he played a major role in the Eagles run to their Super Bowl win Johnson is truly a Goliath of a man coming in at 66 325 he's a brick wall that even the best Edge rushers in the game can't get past in 2022 he set an NFL record for not allowing a sack in 26 straight games as a four-time pro bowler two-time first team All-Pro and Super Bowl champion Lane Johnson is one of the very few gems of this entire 2013 first round with the fifth pick in 2013 the Lions took the second defensive end off the board Ezekiel Ziggy onsaw with back-to-back picks we have back-to-back epic Journeys to the NFL Ansah grew up in Ghana and after being baptized by a couple Mormon missionaries he moved from Ghana to America and pursued a college basketball career at BYU long story short zigianta didn't make the team but after running track for BYU he was spotted by the football coaches and they recruited him to come try out within three years Ansa went from not knowing anything about American football to becoming one of the most dominant defensive ends in the nation at six foot five and 275 pounds he was called the sleeper of the NFL draft and right away he began to make an impact for the Lions leading all rookies in sacks by 2015 he made a pro bowl and second team All-Pro with 14 and a half it seemed like Detroit had found their guy to build around on defense only that didn't happen 2015 was the peak of onsl's pro career his play became at best inconsistent where he would have a big production year like 2015 then have a huge drop-off in 2016 bounce back in 2017 then struggled mightily in 2018 with injuries and inconsistent play he moved on from Detroit and played two more seasons elsewhere as a backup and injuries seemed to be the major cause to his exit from the league in 2020. overall Ansa wasn't a bust he started for five years in Detroit with one great season but inconsistencies and injuries defined most of his career with the sixth pick in 2013 the Browns took the first linebacker off the board bar kevius Mingo he was a springy and explosive 3-4 Edge rusher who was described as having one of the best spin moves of the class this felt like Destiny because the name barkevius was truly unique and it was a perfect match for the dog pound or at least it seemed within two years it was clear that Mingo was struggling to adjust to the Pro game for play in a position that should be productive he just wasn't his speed didn't pop like it did in college and because he was undersized Mingo struggled to get off blocks by year three the Browns were ready to move on and traded him to New England for a fifth round pick ultimately Mingo played for six teams in six years with only one year as a starter and in 2021 his football career ended after Mingo was arrested on a second degree felony charge of indecency and sexual contact with a minor those charges were later dismissed with the seventh pick in 2013 the Cardinals selected the first guard off the board Jonathan Cooper even at his monstrous size Cooper moved surprisingly well he was regarded as one of the smoothest athletes one Scout had ever seen for a guard but unfortunately this guy had some of the worst injury luck I've ever seen his career began with a broken leg and from then on he was never the same athlete year in and year out Jonathan Cooper battled through brutal injuries he only lasted two years in Arizona because of it and from there he was on a new team every year with almost every season ending because of injury after suffering a torn bicep in 2018 his pro career was over with the eighth pick in 2013 the first skill position player finally came off the board with the Rams taking the flashy tabon Austin I recently made a video going over Austin's pro career but I'll cover it here once again Austin was only 5'8 175 pounds but he seemed to justify a top 10 pick at the time because in college this dude was so much better than everybody his speed and elusiveness were unrivaled what Tyree kill became in the NFL is what people envisioned for Tavon Austin but that ultimately didn't happen in short he flashed his skills in the return and receiving game right off the bat and he was the Rams utility knife for his first four seasons although he didn't play as big of a role as the team had hoped still they felt that he was valuable enough to pick up his fifth year option and they gave Austin a 42 million dollar extension but with a regime change tavon's role became diminished and they traded him after that and he would go on to play the rest of his career as a backup receiver at his Peak Austin was the Ram's most targeted receiver but he never amassed more than a thousand receiving and rushing yards in the same season with the ninth pick in 2013 the Jets took the first corner off the board Alabama's D milliner milliner locked down everybody in college his ideal size instincts speed and strength projected him as a future number one corner in the NFL he appeared to have no limitations schematically but as a rookie milliner had a hard time making the adjustment to the pros as he was benched on three separate occasions for poor performance he did manage to finish off his rookie campaign on a high note with three interceptions in the final two games but a couple injuries including a torn Achilles in 2014 devastated milliner's career atorn Achilles is one of the worst possible injuries one can get it has a 6 to 12 month recovery time span and even then you're not the same athlete when you get back milliner when he came back was a step slower and to make matters worse a wrist injury that he sustained in training camp required surgery that put him out to mid-season milliner only ended up playing in two games that year before being released and receiving no interest from other NFL teams milliner only lasted three total seasons and played in 21 career games with the 10th pick in 2013 the Titans took the second guard off the board and the guy who Mike Mayock felt was the best Prospect overall chance Warmack entering the NFL at a monstrous 317 pounds Warmack was considered arguably the best guard Prospect since seven-time pro bowler Steve Hutchinson early on Warmack was a consistent starter for three years however his level of play had only been average at best he had not developed into the dominant level player the Titans had hoped and after an injury in year four Warmack was demoted to the bench once he returned to the lineup and the team chose to not re-sign him follow him in the season Beau wolf a writer for the athletic wrote a piece on the Eagles roster back in 2018 after Warmack signed with them and he called him a quote replacement level guard who offers less positional versatility than you might like in a backup offensive lineman over all Warmack did become a Super Bowl champion as a backup but his final season was in 2018 and he was only a majority starter in three of his six NFL seasons so in wrapping up this video let's compare the top 10 picks from 2013 to every other class from 2000 to 2016. I decided to rank them on the amount of four plus year starters that the top 10 produced and 2013 comes out dead last by this metric the average class during this time has 5.4 pro bowlers in the top 10. and 2013 only produced three tack on the fact that the best two players from the 2013 top 10 are offensive linemen and it makes sense why 2013 is such a forgettable year now it's kind of weird how things work sometimes most of these players mentioned in this video despite being selected so high in the draft made very little impact in their NFL careers and all but two are out of the league but also from that same year the guy who ended up setting the NFL record for most consecutive 100 yard games made more Pro bowls than eight of the top 10 picks and just signed a 25 million dollar contract 10 years into his pro career wasn't selected back in 2013. in fact the two-time pro bowler Adam thielen went undrafted and the Vikings are the beneficiaries cousins Jefferson was covered [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music]
